Összefoglaló	Bayesian discriminant analysis assigns observations to predefined groups by combining a multivariate Gaussian likelihood for each class with prior distributions over the class means and covariance matrices. Posterior predictive probabilities replace point-estimate decision boundaries, providing principled uncertainty quantification for classification in small or high-dimensional samples.	Bayesian cluster analysis assigns observations to latent groups by combining a probabilistic model of within-cluster data with prior beliefs about cluster parameters and the number of clusters. It yields posterior probabilities of cluster membership and principled uncertainty estimates, making it more transparent than classical distance-based clustering algorithms.
